Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a naturally fluorescent protein first isolated from the
jellyfish Aequorea victoria. It converts the blue chemiluminescence of other proteins …

Membrane microdomains (“lipid rafts”) enriched in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-
anchored proteins, glycosphingolipids, and cholesterol have been implicated in events …

Ecologists sometimes have a less-than-rigorous background in quantitative methods, yet
research within this broad field is becoming increasingly mathematical. Written in a step-by …

Fluorescence spectroscopy has traditionally found wide application in biochemistry and cell
biology. Since there are relatively few naturally occurring fluorescent biomolecules …

Ras is a central regulator of cellular signaling pathways. It is mutated in 20–30% of human
tumors. To perform its function, Ras has to be bound to a membrane by a posttranslationally …

We used a pseudorandom-walk representation in a four-dimensional embedding to estimate
the global fractal dimension D of 164 sequences from GenBank and generated length …

Fluorescent proteins from sea creatures have revolutionized the study of cell biology and
signal transduction in many ways. Zacharias discusses some of the technical caveats to …

The scaling law between the radius of gyration and the length of a polymer chain has long
been an interesting topic since the Flory theory. In this article, we seek to derive a unified …

Chloride intracellular channel proteins (CLICs) differ from most ion channels as they can
exist in both soluble and integral membrane forms. The CLICs are expressed as soluble …

Investigations have been made on the reaction kinetics of proteins and enzymes by the
statistical methods of random walks on fractal structures. From the point of view of networks …
